Friday's best deals: Amazon Echo devices, Apple products, Kano coding kits, and more

Black Friday was a whole week ago (where does the time go?), but there are still plenty of deals worth snapping up today. Instead of you spending hours trawling through the websites of your favored retailers to find the goods, we've done the hard work for you. All you have to do is read on.

Amazon Echo Show 8 + Echo Dot - $79.99 (Save $100)

Though only released a couple of months ago, Amazon's all-new Echo Show 8 instantly became the best Echo Show of the bunch. Sitting between the Echo Show 5 and the original Echo Show in both size and price, today the decision of which to pick is even easier than usual as its price has fallen back to its Cyber Monday discount and you can get it with a bundled Echo Dot at no extra cost. All told, you're paying $79.99 for $180-worth of products when not on sale. The devices are understandably a touch backordered after the Black Friday and Cyber Monday events, though you can still lock in this price now and your devices will ship as soon as they are ready.

Apple Sales Event - Prices Vary

Shopping events that discount a variety of Apple products at the same time are rare these days. We see sales that offer discounts on just the iPad lineup, or maybe a few MacBook models, but this limited-time event at Best Buy combines all the best hardware with some nice savings. Many of the prices are close to or equal to sale prices we saw during Black Friday which means you might be able to snag something you missed out on last weekend. Most of the discounts are available to anyone, with a few being exclusive to My Best Buy members. Fortunately, it's free to become a member. The sale is running for three days, though some offers may disappear sooner than that.

Kano Coding Kits - $29.99 (Save $50)

Kano's coding kits are some of the coolest toys you can buy for a child this holiday season. They teach kids the basics of coding with a step-by-step process that makes it possible even for children as young as six years old to start playing and learning with a Kano kit. Now that a selection of the latest coding kits are on sale at Amazon for as low as $29.99, it's the perfect time to pick one up to stash away 'til the holidays — especially considering each one has a regular retail price of $79.99.

Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Bluetooth Headphones - $49.99 (Save $10)

The Anker Soundcore Life Q20 Bluetooth headphones have fallen to $49.99 thanks to a $10 off on-page coupon. These sorts of coupons are really the only way the Q20 ever go on sale, so you'll want to take advantage of it while it's around. The headphones don't drop from their $60 price.

Apple App Store & iTunes Gift Cards - Buy one, get one 25% off

Finding a discount on an Apple App Store & iTunes Gift Card is basically like finding free money on the ground. Once the gift card is loaded onto your Apple ID account, you can put those savings towards other purchases, like on apps and games, digital movies and music, and even subscriptions billed through iTunes. That's why you don't want to miss out on this current sale at Best Buy which is taking 25% off the Apple App Store & iTunes Gift Card of your choice when you buy another at full price.

HyperX Wrist Rest - $14.99 (Save $5)

If you're using a keyboard, you should also be using a wrist rest. It can prevent long-term issues like carpal tunnel, and it just feels better even in the short term. With your hands elevated to the keyboard, you'll be able to type faster, too, without fatigue. Today, the HyperX HX-WR ergonomic wrist rest is down to $14.99 on Amazon. The wrist rest usually sells for around $20 and doesn't drop from that price very often. It has only matched this price twice before in its history, so you're getting a good deal and doing something nice for your hands.

Hylogy Bluetooth Smart Scale - $10.15 (Save $20)

Keeping tabs on your health would be a lot easier with a device like the Hylogy Bluetooth Smart Scale around. It lets you track your weight and other stats using an app on your phone, and today it's on sale for just $10.15 at Amazon when you use promo code SNRH78QI during checkout. That saves you $20 off its usual cost there and brings this scale down to one of its best prices in history.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited - $0.99 (Save $29)

Buying book after book after book can get pretty expensive very quickly, which is why Kindle Unlimited makes for the perfect alternative. Becoming a member unlocks access to Amazon's vast selection of digital books and more to read when you please, and they're all accessible via the free Kindle app which you'll be able to open and use practically anywhere you go. Now you can take all your favorite books with you without weighing down your luggage, and the best part is you can join today with a three-month membership for only $0.99.

Kindle Unlimited usually costs $10 per month which is why you do not want to miss out on this offer. You'll get to read as many books as you can within that three-month timespan all for only $1, and if you decide that the service isn't for you, you can turn off auto-renew in your account settings at any time without being charged anything extra.

Nintendo Switch Lite - $179.99 (Save $20)

For a limited time, Amazon Prime members can take $20 off the Nintendo Switch Lite gaming console at Woot. That brings the total down to $179.99 from its usual $200. Black Friday and Cyber Monday were a bit of a bust for Switch deals with best being the regular price plus a $25 gift card. So while this might be $5 less in savings, it is at least a direct discount. At Woot, you'll see the price display at $189.99, which is the price for nayone, though logging in with your Amazon Prime account takes a further $10 off at checkout. Even if you're only on the Prime free trial, you can still access the deal.
